A Car That Was Hidden Underground For 50 Years

05/16/2018

Time capsules are a cool way to remember what the world was like years ago. And the state of Oklahoma buried the biggest time capsule we’ve ever seen 50 years ago. They decided instead of burying items in a box, they’d put everything in the trunk of a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere and bury the whole car.

The car was dug up back in 2007 but as you can imagine, after 50 years underground, the car was rusted, disintegrated, and the engine was pretty much shot. But with some TLC the car was able to be restored and has now found a home at a museum in Illinois. You can find the full story here.
